Finding A New You

Chapter Two

Weeks went by even though Claire was miserable at Apollo High she was glad she had Elli as a friend. It made life at Apollo much easier. He was the only reason she wanted to go to school. She loved how easy and fun it was to flirt with him and he loved to mess with her mind. She didn't want to admit it but first, she was slowly beginning to like Apollo much more and she wasn't disgusted by it much anymore. And second, she was falling for Elli Williams and hard.

"So are we sitting together at lunch or will I be eating alone?" he asked as he waited by her locker before lunch. "Sorry the cheerleaders are having a meeting about the game at lunch and they are making me sit with them today. Are you coming to the game after school?" she asked hopeful. "Hmm Football games not really my thing." He said. "Oh come on! Pretty please I'll take you to get food afterwards." She begged. "Fine but I'm choosing today." She laughed. "I got to go catch you later!" she said running off to the lunchroom.

The Varsity Cheerleaders team had the best table in the whole school. Their table was in right in the middle of everybody so everyone could see them.

Claire approaches the table taking a seat. "Finally little Miss Edwards joining us instead of sitting with that emo boy" the captain says. Claire rolls her eyes as the captain starts talking about gossiping about some girl who Claire thought was a slut. "Seriously? No wonder Apollo doesn't win any cheer competitions they don't take this seriously all they care about is popularity and parties. Which isn't too bad but competitions are fun and winning is even better" She thought.

Claire spotted Elli walking in the cafeteria as he sat down at their table taking out an apple from his backpack. She didn't like that everyone thought he was emo. He wasn't he just liked dark clothes and listened to heavy metal music. He was the only one who could annoy her and she would still love it. Every time he talked to her or even said her name she would get butterflies in her stomach.

She sighed thinking a guy like him would never like a girl like her. She was so glad no one knew she was the principal's daughter because she hates when people try to kiss up to her. She didn't want to tell Elli because she was scared he would be everyone else but then again Elli isn't like everybody else…

Elli sat in at the table where usually Claire and he will sit but today she was sitting with the rest of the cheerleaders. That kind of made him disappointed he really loves to mess with her. He really liked her. She was his dream girl. She was smart, brave, talented, and beautiful.

He glanced at her laughing at whatever jokes the cheerleaders were saying. God he loved her smile. "What am I doing? I'm Elli Williams who everyone thinks is an emo freak and I can't like a girl like Claire Edwards. She's a cheerleader and popular. Totally out of my league. And I can't be falling for her I'm Elli I don't fall for anyone but Claire is different she's special. Ugh I really need to get out of here." He thought as he grabbed his stuff and leaving the lunchroom.
